Our focus is on health professions education methods. REBEL is dedicated to innovating traditional educational techniques toward highest possible learning outcomes through the study of effectiveness of experiential teaching methods, specifically, but not limited to healthcare simulation, distance simulation, debriefing, and integrated feedback.
Current Research
Neuroscience of learning using mixed teaching methodologies.
Standardized patients or actors, manikins, time and process flows, prebriefing, debriefing, and feedback.
Distance platforms, distance + in-person, VR/AR/XR, distance debriefing.
Who, what, when, where, how.
